Recently we reported that pregnancy is associated with a dramatic increase in AT 1 -R expression in ovine uterine artery endothelial cells (UAEC) which is not otherwise seen in omental (systemic) arteries. The molecular mechanisms underlying this response are still unknown, but recent reports in humans suggest alternate splicing of AT 1 -R mRNA may occur within the 5 - untranslated...
5'-RACE (Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends) is a powerful technique by which unknown sequences can be isolated using neighboring known sequence. We have applied 5'-RACE to the known partial protein coding sequence for ovine AT 1 -cDNA (Robillard, J. et al. (1995) Pediatr Res. 36: 755-762) to clone the 5'-untranslated region of ovine AT 1 -R mRNAs from liver (L), kidney (K), and adrenal...
